$A$ thin convex lens of focal length $5 \, cm$ is used as a simple microscope by a person with a normal near point located $25 \, cm$ away. What is the magnifying power of the microscope?

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: For a simple microscope,the angular size of the object equals the angular size of the image.
Reason $R$: Magnification is achieved as the small object can be kept much closer to the eye than $25\, cm$ and hence it subtends a large angle.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
